lyrics

Can you hear the War Drums?
Can you hear the War Drums?
Can you hear the War Drums?
Ring again…

But I am all the lies that you created,
inside the fires you failed to quell
I haunt the streets,
I am your shame,
I am the one you failed to help
yet again,
not again…

Can you hear the War Drums?
Can you hear the War Drums?
Can you hear the War Drums?
Ring again…
Can you hear the War Drums?
Can you hear the War Drums?
Can you hear the War Drums?
Ring again…

You tie me up inside your laws,
your holy numbers and your dreams,
you fail to house,
to heal,
to feed,
I feel the anger rising up,
rising up-
It’s burning through!

“War drums, I hear the War drums…”
